Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the international community to take “every opportunity” to “exert pressure” on all parties in South Sudan, reiterating that “the parties must uphold the peace agreement” and “move towards rebuilding this fractured young nation.”
Speaking to delegates today (22 Sep) at a meeting on the humanitarian situation in South Sudan, Vice President Taban Deng Gai said his country was determined and committed to cooperate with all the humanitarian partners.
On attacks on humanitarian aid workers, Gai said “individual criminals exploited war situation to kill, loot and harass humanitarian workers, there must be regarded as purely criminals and they do not represent the government’s policy.”
On expediting the process of necessary documents for access, flight safety, insurances, visas and custom clearance, Gai said the government and the UN humanitarian coordination office (OCHA) agreed to establish a one-stop shop facilities at UNMISS.
Concerning the future of the South Sudanese children, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Chief Anthony Lake warned if the international community fail to act decisively to end the violence in South Sudan, “the next generation will come of age in a broken and violent country that will seem normal to them,” he added that the children will believe “as if hatred and violence and poverty are somehow acceptable,” simply because they never know another reality.
He added “today’s violent tragedy will then be repeated in the next generation. That is a grim future that we must not accept and we don’t need to.”
Emphasizing that many aid workers have made “ultimate sacrifice” in a “selfless devotion” to supporting the South Sudanese people, the UN Humanitarian Chief Stephen O’Brien said “I want to pay a big notice to the fact that there are many many missing. We will need your help to help release those who are missing and those aid workers who are not currently able to help because they’ve been abducted."
The situation in South Sudan has worsened after fighting broke out in July this year in and around the capital, Juba, between rival forces backing President Salva Kiir and First Vice-President Riek Machar. There were several attacks reportedly against civilians, as well as attacks against aid workers. The attack in July at Hotel Terrain caused one death and several civilians were raped and beaten by men in uniform.
